"Ink Technique!"
The citizens of Chang 'an only realized the power of the Ink Technique when the city-wide warning system was activated for the first time in Chang' an.
Reaching a distance of ten miles in an instant was something that no one dared to imagine. The city-wide warning system had only been in operation for ten days, but it was already so powerful.
"Woo!"
An ambulance from the Mo Hospital blew a sharp whistle, and the passing citizens consciously made way for it. After a few days of word of mouth, everyone knew that as long as an ambulance from the Mo Hospital was sent out, it meant a life was lost.
Among the crowd, there was a four-wheeled carriage that looked very similar to an ambulance. Li Shimin and Wei Zheng sat side by side in the carriage. The comfortable armchairs were extremely comfortable.
It had to be said that Meton's four-wheeled carriage was too deceptive. From the outside, it was not eye-catching at all. Although the interior was exquisite, it was not because of the expensive materials, but because of the exquisite workmanship. Even a straightforward official like Wei Zheng could not find a reason to stop it.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The citizens have become kind. This is all thanks to Your Majesty's efforts in educating the people." Wei Zheng moved his body comfortably and looked at the street that was gradually returning to normal.
This year, Wei Zheng's health was not as good as before. Although he was not terminally ill like in history after Doctor Sun's treatment, his health was still deteriorating.
Li Shimin saw that Wei Zheng was tired, so he sat in the same carriage with him to observe the situation.
"It's a matter of life and death. Mo Hospital has done its duty!" Li Shimin said with emotion.
Who would have thought that with the support of the Mo Family, the School of Medicine could achieve such impressive results?
On the streets of Chang 'an, the ambulances would not avoid the officials when they saw them. Instead, the officials would make way for them. This was an order personally given by Li Shimin.
It had only been a few days, but the Fire Administration Department had already dispatched the ambulances three times. Two of them were frightening but not dangerous. The last time, the fire was too big. If the fire department's fire engine had not arrived in time, the entire street would have been destroyed. It should be known that the buildings in this era were all wooden. Once a fire broke out, it would be a disaster.
The ambulances had been dispatched 50 times, which meant that 50 lives had been carefully treated by Mo Hospital.
The Chang 'an county government had been dispatched 120 times in total. The people of Chang' an were full of praises for their efficiency in handling cases. It was not hard to imagine that the county magistrate and arrester Cao Li would definitely be promoted by one level when the three-year period was up.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Wei Zheng sighed sincerely.
In essence, he was a Confucian through and through. Dismissing the Hundred Schools of Thought and Confucianism was imprinted in his bones. It could be said that before this, he did not think highly of any of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
However, when Li Shimin left Mo Jiazi in Chang 'an City, the power of the Mo Family was revealed to the world for the first time. People realized for the first time that the Hundred Schools were not indispensable.
The current Medical School was so glorious, but it was only a model supported by the Mo Family. The real Mo Family had already extended its influence to every corner of Chang 'an City.
Four-wheeled carriages were still rare in Chang 'an City, just like cars in the 1950s and 1960s. No matter how plain Meton's carriages were, they were still eye-catching.
South City Gate of Chang 'an City
Li Shimin stopped the carriage and walked with Wei Zheng to a small market that had formed spontaneously outside the South City Gate.
Although there were two markets in Chang 'an City, they were only places where regular merchants gathered. When people from outside Chang' an City came to buy local specialties to sell in Chang 'an City, they would not go deep into the city. Usually, they would gather near the city gate to sell. Once they sold out, they would go back immediately. Otherwise, it would be late at night when they got home.
The small market was full of hawking sounds. It was noisy all around.
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng walked in the market, squatting from time to time to ask about the price and beat around the bush.
"My lords, do you want to buy live chickens? Authentic Mo Family Village chickens. " An old woman wrapped in a floral headscarf was looking for food on the ground. In front of her, there were more than ten half-grown roosters.
Wei Zheng looked at the roosters and asked curiously, "Why do you buy them when they haven't grown up yet? Is your family in urgent need of money?"
When the old woman heard this, she smiled and said, "Master, you don't know, but this old woman has been raising chickens for decades. I know that chickens grow the fastest in the first four months. But after four months, if you continue to feed them, they will grow slower. Moreover, if they eat a lot, then the gains won't make up for the losses. If it's a hen, then it can lay eggs. But the sooner these roosters are sold, the better. Moreover, the meat of a four-month-old chicken is very tender. If you use it to make fried chicken, then it's a good ingredient."
Li Shimin suddenly smiled and said, "You also know about fried chicken!"
The old woman said embarrassedly, "I've never eaten that kind of expensive food. I heard it from the chicken seller in the Mo Family Village."
Wei Zheng looked around the market and found that there were many villagers like the old woman who carried chickens and ducks into the city. From time to time, people came up to buy the chickens and ducks. The demand for meat in Chang 'an City was endless. No matter how much meat entered Chang' an City, it would be digested. It was a pity that there was no vaccine now. It was almost impossible to breed on a large scale. They could only rely on the strength of the masses to carry out large-scale free-range breeding.
"My lords, do you want to buy them? If you don't want them, I can sell these live chickens to the Mo Family Village in exchange for some chicks." The old woman pointed at the stall in the Mo Family Village and said.
The stall in the Mo Family Village was the largest among all the stalls. Many farmers like the old woman went to buy an iron pot after selling their goods. The iron pot in the Mo Family Village was the thinnest and thinnest with exquisite workmanship. It was also of good quality and cheap, so it was very popular.
Or they brought home some chicks of chickens, ducks, and geese. This was the time when food was abundant. As long as they put the chicks out of the stall, they would naturally go home at night.
Or they gave their children some pencils, one coin for one. If they used it sparingly, it could last them for half a month.
Chickens, ducks, and geese! Eggs, century eggs, salted duck eggs, iron pots. When Li Shimin and Wei Zheng walked around the market and gained a lot, they also found that the products of the Mo Family had all been integrated into the lives of the people in Chang 'an City.
During the busy season, they used the curved plow in the Mo Family Village to plow the land. When the land was dry, they used the pressure well invented by the Mo Family to irrigate it.
During the slack season, they bought the chicks of the Mo Family Village and used the method provided by the Mo Family Village to make century eggs and salted duck eggs. Maybe they would even sell them to the Mo Family Gourmet City.
The Mo Family Technique had brought changes to the entire Chang 'an City. Some changes were like the city's early warning system, which was simply earth-shaking. Some changes were like the curved plow, which took a long time to take effect. However, everyone had to admit that these changes were on the positive side.
